More from Larry Wall

  1. Symmetry is overrated. Overrated is symmetry.
  2. That being said, I think we should immediately deprecate any string concatenation that combines '19' with '99'. :-)
  3. Must be a different Larry Wall. There are at least 137 of us in the U.S.
  4. The Golden Gate wasn't our fault either, but we still put a bridge across it.
  5. Orthogonality for orthogonality's sake is not something I'm keen on.
  6. It should be illegal to yell 'Y2K' in a crowded economy. :-)
  7. My arthritic pinkies are already starting to ache just thinking about ||||=.
  8. One thing I do understand is that people get scared when I start thinking out loud. :-)
